The new shades of Bobbi Brown Hot Collection Sheer Lip Color bring some playfully vibrant shades to the table that are completely wearable courtesy their gorgeous formula. So purple lipstick? That’s totally a wearable shade in this moisturizing, easy to apply formula.

Ciate Lip Chalk Matte Lip Crayon ($18) is a new full color creamy matte lip crayon that launched with the brand new permanent Ciate Makeup Collection for Spring 2015. I’m not much into mattes as you know but I am into chubby lip pencil fanatic! So, of course, I was all about trying out this new Ciate Lip Chalk although the name sounds dry…hmmmm!

Currently I’m in love with NYC New York Color Cosmetics Expert Last Lip Lacquer ($3.99) and questioning why I have never tried them before this!?

Expert Last Lip Lacquer is a liquid lip lacquer that launches about a year ago in several sahdes to the NYC New York Color Cosmetics permanent collection. More recently a few new shades for Spring 2015 launched which is one reason I’ve taken slight notice of them.

Ciate Liquid Velvet Matte Lip Slick ($18) is one of several new Ciate makeup products launching for Spring 2015 as a permanent part of the Ciate Collection. Most know Ciate is all about nails but they’ve been slowly venturing into the world of color cosmetics and this Spring they have launched an affordable mid-range collection of delicious makeup products!

Ciate Liquid Velvet Matte Lip Slick is one of those products. This five shade selection liquid lipstick is a non drying, long wearing pigmented formula that makes for an excellent start in the makeup world!

Well done Ciate! You’ve successfully capture my attention with this lipstick and made me want to try more of your products.

Oh lord where does one start with Jordana Modern Matte Lipstick ($2.99)? Jordana introduced Modern Matte Lipstick to their permanent color cosmetics collection for Spring 2015 in 12 shade selections. They market these as a “kiss your dry matte lipstick goodbye and say hello to modern matte” which implies to me they are hydrating. They also call them an all day wear formula without the typical dry lip finish that feathers and cracks.
